Redbox Bowl Game Thread: Illinois vs Cal

[illini2002]

That is crap. After further review. There was no helmet or head contact

 

[Twangers]

this is do agree with. I would say it’s so much the talent, yes. We are missing a lot of our starters. But it doesn’t look like we are in the position. But as I type this. We were in perfect position two plays in a row. Then a targeting call on eifiler

Correct. That’s why, when Oskee asked what the issue was today, I said it was both.

 

[JJE]

Never ever underestimate Illinois athletics ability to disappoint.

 

[SuperMetroid]

Total horseshit call

 

[Retro62]

The refs don’t need to help Cal

 

[KSmooth]

That targeting rule could be the death of football.

 

[BananaShampoo]

Two hand touch. Just make the change. This is ridiculous.

This. WTF.

 

[superfan]

What is the defender supposed to do in that situation? Give up on the play?

 

[lexwaldez]

Our QB gets knocked out of two games... no targeting. We get jobbed again. I'm so sick of this.
Game over. Season over. There were ups, there were downs, and we end up with another losing season.

Man I was hoping not to turn this game off early. But that’s it for me.

 

[Twangers]

I don’t know about that one.

Does a suspension work retroactive to 2020?

 

[skyIdub]

Die Hard on WGN in 8 minutes. Bye.

 

[AutoPoster 3000]

Forcible contact to the head or neck area. For the purposes of this penalty, the head and neck also includes both players shoulders.

 

[illini2002]

8 penalties for for almost a football field so far today.. how many have we actually committed?

 

[Soxfreak64]

Man, every officiating crew in the country should be forced to watch that "targeting" side by side with the non targeting at Iowa.

Amazing how inconsistently its officiated.

 

[thehass]

Cal has shown what a team with good receivers can accomplish.

 

[Buster]

Done with this

I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not

[TooHot4Tots]

Poorly coached and poorly executed D.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Ref who threw targeting flag could not possibly see it from his angle. I’ve ragged on targeting enough. My position is obvious.

 

[Twangers]

*Slaps forehead*

Quan.

 

[Retro62]

Y

Die Hard on WGN in 8 minutes. Bye.

Yeah, if you want to watch mayhem and destruction it’s clearly a better option.

 

[illinoistradition]

It might have been a soft call, but Milo was 100% going for the big hit as opposed to the tackle that keeps them short of a first. Terrible game for him.

 

[illini2002]

I have worn this Illini hoodie 5 times in the last month and a half. It has resulted in 5 straight loses. 2 in basketball and 2, soon to be 3 in football. I blame the loses on my throw back Illini hoodie.

Those players are lucky that that targeting hit didn’t result in a dislocated head or neck.
